Then we&#39;ll hang out and have fun and then you can open the conversation up later after a few cocktails :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607781988249666421.post-43161836387140470602010-01-17T11:13:27.601-06:002010-01-17T11:13:27.601-06:00VERY good insight and advice. I think the concern here is being TOO forward -- no one ever wants to feel like they&#39;re imposing on someone.<br /><br />But I also want it to happen to, so I&#39;m going to have to put out there and see how he responds, hoping he doesn&#39;t run for the hills.Analytical Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12551078505528499351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607781988249666421.post-11703318849742719252010-01-16T19:40:22.869-06:002010-01-16T19:40:22.869-06:00Make it happen. <br />Crap, I wanted to cancel this but can&#39;t figure out how to do it...<br />Okay, well, yes. Make it happen. His life is crazy, your life is crazy too. Too often things get crazy and we overlook things. Guilty as charged. <br />Shoot him another email and tell him that your calendar has been filling up and that you want to set a date so that it&#39;s ON the calendar. They key is to not sound like you life is your calendar. The date is not set in stone, all things are subject to change. Heck, with the way your schedule is filling up, it&#39;s possible that you will have to change plans. Don&#39;t demand a date. <br />Another idea<br />Find a date that something cool is going on that you want to see or do, like... um, I don&#39;t know, a book signing or something. Try to pick something that you think he would like as well (do NOT pick something that you have no interest in for the sake of him, this will snap you in the butt). No basket weaving if that&#39;s not his thing. &quot;Dude, there is this really cool thing that I&#39;ve been wanting to do (insert activity). I can&#39;t seem to get anyone to go with me and I was wondering if it would fit into your schedule.&quot;<br />You get the idea. <br />Good luck. <br />AAtomishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12577686535951380438noreply@blogger.com
